How do i say this? in the same meaning as cope. Ex. The farmers are dealing with wet soils. Also, in another way, how would you say "deal with" such as in a way of "I'll deal with you later", with kind of a context to settle uncompromised disputes. As always, thanks for your replies, and I look forward to finding out how to say this! Cheers!

"To deal" is a difficult verb for translating into Spanish, but the immediate ideas I find for your examples are these...


If wet soils are a problem:

· Los granjeros tienen que vérselas con los suelos húmedos.
· Los granjeros tienen que batallar/lidiar con los suelos húmedos.
· Los granjeros tienen que sortear las dificultades de los suelos húmedos.


If it's just a part of common farmers' work:

· Los granjeros tienen que ocuparse de los suelos húmedos.
· Los granjeros tienen que encargarse de los suelos húmedos.


For your second example, this threat to a person can be solved with "encargarse de alguien".

· Ya me encargaré de ti después.
· Luego me encargaré de ti.
· Más tarde me encargo de ti.
